Newtown Labor Day Parade
September 1, 2008
Information for Democrats

If you're planning to march with Democrats or volunteer, please call me, Martin A. Goldberg, at (203) 543-9750, and e-mail me at mgoldberg2008@yahoo.com, so I can coordinate your efforts with the other Democrats. The details:

Point A on the map is Academy Lane, where the Democrats will be lining up. Line-up time is 8:45 a.m. Scroll down for the order within the group.

Point B is both the end of the marching route, as well as the location of a tent for Democrats at 20 Church Hill Road (shown on the map as Route 6). Setting up of this tent will be at 8 a.m., and help will be appreciated with both set-up and occupying the tent. Please feel free to bring literature for campaigns and causes, voter registration stuff, whatever. Mi tent es su tent.

Parking is at Hawley School, 29 Church Hill Road (shown on the map as Route 6). A shuttle bus will run from Hawley School from 8:45 a.m. to 9:45 a.m., but it's only 500 feet east of Point B, so you probably can walk if you're just going to the tent.

How to get to the area shown on the map: Simple. Main Street is Route 25. It's Exit 27A off the Connecticut Turnpike, which is the exit for both Route 8 and Route 25. Go North. When these two routes split, stay to the left for Route 25. Continue going straight, through Monroe, to Newtown. When you see a giant flagpole you are at the intersection of Main St. and Church Hill Road, although there may be some detouring of traffic when you get there.
